Hum, this is not really teacher friendly. In lot of school there a re not admin, and the student refistration is done by the teachers. A metaphore modeled on the school organization is probably more around school level. Not to mention that some student may not go to the next class. > > > 2.

Oh, very minimal. Set various Desktop preferences configuration in /etc/skolelinux/profils/ (mainly kde related stuff as menu and so on) Then a tool in webminuser interface to let the admin update a user Desktop profil from one in /etc/skolelinux/profils/.

VNC could be another option.
